ABSTRACT
This study aims to provide a comprehensive assessment of Turkey’s strategies to combat desertification and
erosion in terms of achieving the Paris Agreement commitments and the 2053 net zero emission targets.
Desertification and erosion are important environmental problems that threaten agriculture and food se-
curity by reducing soil fertility and cause biodiversity loss. While combating these problems, Turkey also
successfully continues to fulfill its responsibility to be a part of the fight against climate change on a global
scale. It is very important that Turkey’s current strategies to combat desertification and erosion not only pro-
vide environmental protection at the local level, but also comply with international climate commitments
within the framework of the Paris Agreement. In order for Turkey to achieve its net zero emission target by
2053, sustainable agricultural practices need to be expanded, forests and sink areas protected and expand-
ed, water resources used efficiently, and local ecosystems strengthened. In order for these strategies to be
successful, policy development, international cooperation, use of innovative technologies, and promotion
of social participation are very important. As a result, Turkey's fight against desertification and erosion is of
critical importance for the country to achieve its climate goals and fulfill its Paris Agreement commitments.
